Overbuilt?

That ist my recent 77# @ 34 paddle bow. I had a hard time deciding what length would be appropriate for this project and went with 73" ntn. Better safe than sorry  :) what ya think? Overbuilt?

Btw: Extremly orange, heavy and dense Osage Orange we have here, from Hungary. Comes from a sapling, maybe 15yrs old - maybe this one comes from the same tree as my 2021 bow of the year. plenty of thorn clusters all over the belly but none visible on the back.

thanks for watching!

JW_Halverson:
It certainly exhibits all of your usual elements of graceful flowing lines and attention to finishing detail. Tiller, as usual, so close to perfect that I couldnt say what - if anything - is wrong with it. That just leaves performance and "feel". I can't shoot it and feel how it reacts in the hand, so that's up to you to report, but I doubt there is any problem with this bow in that department.

While I may not comment on every bow you post, I NEVER skip anything you offer us. I'd even admit to taking notes if I am being honest. Thank you for sharing, brother. Always appreciate your work.

Badger:
  I wonder how far that can shoot with a 34" draw? Looks great and not overbuilt at all. I would have been at about 78".
